Confused about when to buy organic versus non-organic foods?
Especially when it comes to produce, it’s good practice to avoid pesticides as much as possible. The Environmental Working Group publishes a list every year of the “Dirty Dozen” and “Clean Fifteen” which indicate the foods with the most and least amounts of pesticides. If it’s on the dirty dozen list, it’s best to choose the organic version. If it’s on the clean fifteen list, it doesn’t matter as much.
Bell peppers are on the dirty dozen list, so next time you’re at the grocery store, steer your cart to the organic produce section to pick some of these sweet veggies up!

Guys listen to your body!! You have no idea how important it is to listen, accept, and follow the signs your body is telling you. It seems like common sense but all of the stigmas and unhealthy “trends” in our society manipulate our minds and lifestyles. Our bodies were made to give us signs when they are IN NEED of something not just because they want it!! Take my day today for example, I was trying a day with a raw vegan diet solely for fun and to see if I would feel any improvements in energy, freshness, or just well being in general. I got to after lunch and felt pretty satisfied but then after an hour or two felt pretty irritable. I wasn’t satisfied. I wasn’t happy. I was tired. And I was hungry. I went to grab a snack and reached for the berries and ate them all and then thought to myself I’m supposed to be doing this to feel better. And I don’t feel good AT ALL so what am I doing??!!! So then I went ahead and ate an entire bag of TOASTED almonds and a @justins chocolate cashew butter cup. I felt satisfied after and I’ve learned that a raw vegan diet just isn’t sustainable for me or my lifestyle. So I know what works for me and I will stick to it. I’m proud I listened to my body and followed what it need. And now I feel AMAZING 😇

Got some #TacoTuesday goodies for ya courtesy of @utah_backyard_bbq! He smoked up a bunch of carne asada on his @traegergrills, made some quesadilla shells, whipped up a crema with our Jalapeno Lime, a batch of fresh guac, threw it all together and sprinkled it with cilantro and cotija. He went with an IPA from @odellbrewing on the side.

So, my kids ate practically nothing. The 18 month old ate mostly corn and a little bit of pasta. And the four-year-old did the reverse. But my husband and I loved this meal, and it was a lot easier compared to some of the other recipes.
...
I would definitely recommend this as a weeknight meal. It was filling and delicious. If you have kids, it’s a crapshoot anyway. 😆
...
A couple of things I have learned from several of these blue apron recipes: when pan cooking zucchini, The trick is to let the zucchini around or slices cook for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them. This gives it a nice browning and flavor to them.
...
Similarly, corn can be cut off the cobb fresh and pan fried for a grilled type flavor. I will likely incorporate this technique with future dishes and veggies to add some char flavor. And lastly- I am going to try to expand our cheese and spice repertoire! Whipped ricotta paired well with the creme fraische/pasta water sauce in this dish!

Not all peppers are created equal. Some are crispy and tangy while others are really really hot! Experimenting with the different uses and flavors they bring to the table can transform your typical routine.

aghhhh!! being back in auckland makes me feel too many good feelings 🤩 mainly because of the variation of fooooooods to choose from!! here’s the infamous @aquas_au black waffle cone with mixed swirl of the sea🌊 salt and apple🍎 cinammon pie🥧 ice cream🍦with fairy floss topping

Filet migon Steak 🥩 w/ waffle fries. Owner is very friendly.
Price: 7/10
Taste: 5/10
Not a fan of A1 sauce and that’s all they had. The steak did lack flavor and definitely needed a sauce. However the fries were on point and crispy. Decent size portions.
Location: 9/10
Family friendly restaurant, quiet a few table. Can hold a big group
Would we go back? Went back a few times and tried other things I’ll post later on.
